and a grapevine wreath adorned with a primitive crow embellish a stately bench in Fran and Steve Venckus’ Huntsville, Alabama, home. “Through the years as a traveling Coast Guard family, we have experienced this great country from our car,” Fran shares. “This allowed us the opportunity to purchase many collectibles.
